   The zigzag-shaped web decoration, named the stabilimentum, is featured at the centre of the orb. Its function is not currently known, though studies have indicated that the webs containing stabilimentia are damaged less often by birds flying through them. [3] [4] When prey gets trapped in the web, the spider immobilizes it by wrapping it in silk.
